On February 30, the traditional New Year's Day of the Sassen Empire, the Xinglan Industrial Park made a rare halt to the day-to-day production work it had been working in for the past six months, and in the vast industrial park, in addition to the security personnel who maintained daily patrols, only the personnel sent by the alliance to carry out the transportation plan were left.

As soon as the morning mist cleared, wagons of various colors from various chambers of commerce arrived in the industrial park, waiting for the arrival of the new army soldiers in the box planned by the lime.

It wasn't long before ships arrived at the docks of the industrial park from the lower reaches of the Deans River, most of them bearing the Seagull crest of the Colin family on their heads, a few of them wingless dragons from the Northern Army, and the rest of them were a stray bunch of small boats.

"Let's go! Walk! Let's go!"

After the iron passage was fixed along the edge of the ship for easy access and access, under the command of the officers, the new soldiers and the mages and knights assigned to them ran down from the ship in order.

Under the guidance of the personnel involved in the transportation plan on the field, they found the carriage of their own platoon, two carriages carrying a squad of soldiers, and the coachman who confirmed that the passengers were in place raised his horsewhip, and the loud whip sounded in the air.

The horses snorted, white mist gushed from their mouths and noses, and their strong muscles began to pull the heavy carriage towards its intended destination.

Although it was still early in the morning, Hurgana was already a lively scene to usher in the New Year, with countless vendors from the villages and towns around the imperial capital carrying bamboo baskets and carrying burdens to transport all the goods that could be collected from the countryside to Hurganari for sale.

The soldiers of the New Army in the carriage were divided into several remote routes planned by the city guards and headed for their destinations, and the makeshift wagons, which had been modified from wooden planks, were not exposed as long as no one approached to look at them.

Thinking of the battle they are about to face today, many soldiers of the New Army are still a little apprehensive in their hearts, but many more are excited and determined. Today is the day when their freshly forged blade called the New Army will test the knife!

"It's the place!"

When the carriage traveled along the winding route to the predetermined mansion of the enlightened nobles in the Eastern District, the aristocratic butler arranged by the alliance immediately stepped forward, and he first looked around vigilantly to make sure that there were no unusual people around, and then came to the carriage and whispered to the soldiers in the carriage.

"Yes! Let's get out of the car!"

When the squad leader or deputy squad leader heard the reminder of the contact officer, he immediately opened the door at the back of the carriage from the inside, jumped out of the carriage first, first looked around, and then stretched out his hand to greet his soldiers and the mages and knights in the team.

When the soldiers had dismounted, they followed the butler through the hidden lanes of the manor, through the stables and gardens, to the cellar or to the stone hut where the servants lived.

In it, there are already quite a few well-equipped chamber of commerce armed forces waiting in it.

They would stay in these places until the evening, during which time the owners of the estates would be in charge of their food.

At the same time, on the other side, after transporting more than 2,500 soldiers, knights, and mages, the ships sent by the alliance and the northern military returned to the docks of the R&D center to begin transporting the weapons and ammunition of these soldiers.

The whole city of Hurgana is sandwiched between the two tributaries of the Seine River, in addition to the wharves in the north and south districts, there are also many ferries in the other eastern and western districts, but most of the ferries in the eastern district are privately owned by the big nobles who live here, and the ferries in the western district are too poor to be developed, so they have not been able to form a large-scale dock business area like the northern and southern districts.

In Xia Lin's transportation plan, it was planned to use several ferries in the eastern region under the name of the enlightened nobles to transport the equipment of the new army and the palace guard knights therein.

"Listen, as soon as Master Diasha receives the order to start the operation, we will immediately head north, through Peverman Street, Birnoster Street, and Ferrante Street, to this Isaac manor to collect our weapons and equipment, and wait until the armament is complete, and then wait for the next order, do you understand now?"

The first infantry battalion was the first to set off, and the first to arrive at the predetermined manor to hide, in the wide cellar of the manor, the platoon commander of the first platoon of the third company took out a map, explained in detail to his three squad leaders and other soldiers, and explained their next tasks in detail, in accordance with the requirements of the combat regulations in the "New Army Infantry Drill Code", and strive to ensure that every soldier understands their next task.

"Understood! Platoon commander!"

"Yes! Platoon commander!"

"Three knights, your equipment will also be transported with us, and you will have to act with us when the time comes, and of course, a few mages and Captain Yuke will do the same! Please follow us."

After confirming that his subordinates understood the tasks of the first stage, the platoon leader of the third platoon said to the palace guard knights and royal mages who were wearing only cotton armor on the side, and the leader of the armed forces of the Chamber of Commerce who cooperated with his platoon.

"Don't worry!"

Most of the palace guard knights who were transferred to the new army by Viscount Hart to fight with them were the sons of enlightened nobles, and after seeing the combat effectiveness of the new army in the previous exercises, there was not much discrimination against their poor status, and a big knight at the head nodded and said to the platoon commander of the 131st platoon.

The other three royal mages vaguely sensed that it was inappropriate for them to be involved in such a thing, but they still obeyed the orders of Archmage Strachey and Her Royal Highness and nodded to them as well.

On the other side, on the banks of the Famo River, about thirty kilometers from Urgana, in the garrison of the 2nd Guards Division, a covert and swift operation was also underway.

"Your Royal Highness, General Bonofor Barlow has been holding banquets in the garrison recently, but he has not invited us, the officers who support you, and the logistical resources of our soldiers have also been deducted a lot.

General Bonofo has also forbidden our men to participate in the affairs of sentry and camp, and even our men will be subjected to all kinds of difficulties when they leave the camp, and His Majesty suspects that there may be some big moves by the conservatives in the near future......

In a brigade commander's cabin, Siso Greg was anxiously writing a sentence on the stationery, but suddenly heard several knocks on the door outside the cabin, and immediately crumpled the letter in alarm:

"Who?"

"Captain Sisoka, it's me, Derene! Your Excellency the General wants to invite you to tonight's banquet!"

"Really? Go and tell him that I am not feeling well today, so I will not attend the banquet."

On weekdays, his attendants call themselves Sisoka-sama, and Hisoka Greg was about to open the door, but suddenly noticed that his attendants called him, and suddenly became a little vigilant.

He tossed the paper he had written in his hand into the burning fireplace and reduced it to ashes, then put on his coat and removed his sword from the wall.

「……」

There was silence outside the door for a while, as if Deran had left the door, but then the thick wooden door seemed to be struck by a black bear, "Winter!" There was a violent deformation.

"What do you want to do, Deran?"

Hisoka immediately drew his sword and said sternly, but there was already a bad feeling in his heart.

"Your Excellency! Fast...... Uhhh......h

"Peng!"

After a familiar wail, there was another violent sound, and the wooden door finally could not withstand such devastation, and turned into a distorted wreckage that broke away from the door frame and flew on the wall, revealing a line of heavily armed figures outside the door:

"Captain of the Siso Brigade, your embezzlement of military funds and private maintenance of soldiers has been reported, and we have come to arrest you on the orders of General Bonof!

Please lay down your arms, even though you are a great knight, I don't think you will want to know the consequences of continuing to resist!"

A muscular man in full-body armor walked into the room with heavy steps and said to Hisoka with a sneer.

"Oh? Embezzlement of military funds, when will private soldiers be a reason for the arrest of a brigade commander in our Guards Division? Beaton Brigade Captain?"

Hisoka asked with a solemn expression, his mind racing to find a way out of this squad of twenty knights.

"Not before, but now, in the face of a silver knight, a great knight, and nineteen knights, I advise you to lay down your arms, otherwise it will be your personal servant!"

Beaton leaned his body to let Hisoka see the corpse outside the door, and this scene suddenly made Hisoka's eyes widen and the hole shrunk.

「……」

"I demand that I be treated as a noble heir, Captain of the Beaton Brigade!"

After struggling inwardly, Siso Greg finally dropped the long sword in his hand, straightened his clothes, and said with a gloomy expression.

"Of course, as long as you're out of the way, we're not going to do anything to you guys."

Seeing that Hisoka knew each other like this, Beaton nodded and showed a playful smile, but he sneered in his heart.
